More Springtime Staycations with April and May Availability

1 March 2021

Following the government’s recent update allowing staycations for one household from 12th April in England, and (subject to review) from 17 May two households/rule of six, we’ve seen a massive surge in interest for springtime breaks, understandably!
To help you find your perfect getaway, we’ve tracked down some superb stays that still have availability in mid April/ May – but as before, don’t delay – space is booking up fast! Main image: Heamoor Treehouse | Cornwall
